#Cosmic #linux #linuxdesktop #popos

The default will be very, very familiar to anyone who already used PopOS. You have a bottom dock and a top panel. The dock has your app icons and access to the app library and the launcher, the top panel lets you access the workspaces, the apps, the time and date, and your system tray.

The settings let you do whatever the hell you want to these panels and docks. You can move any of these to any screen edge, you can move any applet from one to the other, size them how you want, make them fully transparent, you can replicate any layout you'd like, basically, and if you'd like to just have one single taskbar at the bottom, you can always make the top panel transparent, and auto hide it, after removing all of its applets.

Of course, one of the main advantages of PopOS was always its auto tiling features, and they return here in Cosmic. You can obviously manually tile windows on screen edges, or corners, to half tile, maximize, or quarter tile, but you also get the nice auto tiling applet in the top bar.
You can turn on auto tiling for the current workspace, and keep a different behavior for other workspaces, and you can even set that behavior for any new workspace that is created, since these are dynamic, like in GNOME.

After that, you can either navigate using the keyboard or the mouse, and you have a nice visual hint around the currently focused window as well. You can also stack windows by placing them on top of one another, and this will add tabs in the titlebars of these windows. These stacks will persist even if you untile the desktop, and you can create these stacks even with floating windows, and if a stack is currently focused, all new windows will open inside of this stack. You can destack things by just dragging them out of it.

Now, in terms of theming, Cosmic has the usual light and dark mode, and accent colors, from a palette, or with a color picker. Then, you can change the other colors: you can change the window background color, the color of containers, so the sidebars and options popovers, the color of the interface text, the tint of the controls, and the color of the hint for the active window, if you want it to be different from the accent color.

Other options let you change the shape of the controls, rounded, rounded squares and pure squares. And as the cherry on top, you get the ability to change the icon theme, and to apply your color theme to Gnome apps, including libadwaita and flatpak apps.

Finally, let's look at the apps. The app store is nothing crazy, it works with apps from the PopOS repos, and flatpaks as well, with flathub being turned on by default, at least in the PopOS alpha, you can't see app permissions, links to the developer's website, verification status, or anything like that.

The terminal has themes, profiles, lets you split the current terminal, it supports tabs, it can even be semi transparent. it's a good terminal app for most people.

The Text editor will be fine for most people as well, it does have some development oriented features, like tab width settings for identation, or a project view for navigating a directory. It also has git management features baked in, but it won"t replace your favorite IDE any time soon.

Finally, the file manager is very barebones for now, it does support tabs, and it has a sidebar, you get a grid view and a list view, the ability to show hidden files, and a few view settings, but that's it. No archiving features, no split view, no terminal integration, no side panels, it's more Nautilus than Dolphin for now.

TFM claims:
"If you believe Jews are the sole cause of Western problems, explain Rome. Their decline happened centuries later with no Jewish involvement."

Jews claim:
"They created Christianity to conquer the goy, Paul was a double agent, they destroyed Esau through Christianity, St. Peter was a rabbi who infiltrated Christianity to aid the Jews, etc."

Who do you believe?

in reply to Based_Accelerationist

Self identifying Jews who do not consider themselves Christians have told me that Jesus is not the Messiah because he failed to defeat Rome

But now I am told by based accelerationist Jesus is a made up story used to defeat Rome

Orthodox "Jews" certainly tell each other Jesus was real in their writings where they say he was a very bad man and is in burning excrement or semen

Where in their writing does it say we made up Jesus to trick the Goyim?

in reply to shortstories

@shortstories
If you watched the video, then you would know they didn't say Jesus didn't exist, they said Paul was a double agent, who made up the magic tricks and the myth surrounding Jesus (who they believe was a regular Jew, not the messiah) to prevent Christianity from infiltrating Judaism in Israel and instead go convert the goyim, as Jesus supposedly wanted.

It's that simple.

in reply to Based_Accelerationist

What is the earliest Jewish written source to confirm that Jews taught that,

"Paul was a double agent, who made up the magic tricks and the myth surrounding Jesus (who they believe was a regular Jew, not the messiah) to prevent Christianity from infiltrating Judaism in Israel and instead go convert the goyim, as Jesus supposedly wanted."

Maimonides is after 1100 AD

These people on the video were filmed after 1900 AD

Source before 700 AD ?

in reply to shortstories

@shortstories Are you for real? Look, if you don't believe the takes of the top influential rabbis on Judaism, that's fine. The point of this is to show what rabbis teach, this is what they preach in Israel.

Some of these rabbis also have youtube channels, you can send them money and ask for their pre-700 AD sources, if you're so inclined.

But there is no denying that Christianity is 100% Jewish and that Jesus did not perform any magic tricks, if he even existed at all.

in reply to Based_Accelerationist

Maybe their most recent take of the top Jewish Rabbis in the 20th and 21st century is that Christianity was a Jewish PsyOp but I am not convinced that Jews who were not Christian who were alive before 700 AD viewed Christianity as a Psyop created by Jews

Rabbis have a long track record of creating new stuff on the fly and claiming it was what they taught all along since ancient times

Clergy who call themselves Christian also do that

in reply to shortstories

@shortstories According to these rabbis, most Jews didn't think Christianity was a psyop, it was simply a competitor to the mainstream form of Judaism at the time, with an army and everything. They were converting Jews in Israel to their side and the elites saw it as a threat. Only Paul, Peter and a few other top rabbis, knew about their plan to lead the Christians away from Israel and to turn the whole movement into a psyop for the goy.
in reply to Based_Accelerationist

"According to these rabbis, most Jews didn't think Christianity was a psyop"

"Only Paul, Peter and a few other top rabbis, knew about their plan to lead the Christians away from Israel and to turn the whole movement into a psyop for the goy."

So basically more than one thousand years later some Rabbis speculated that Christianity was originally created by other Jews as a PsyOp

But this is only their unproven guess about history

in reply to Based_Accelerationist

The question is were they subverted or were they a psyop to begin with

But it would be very difficult for me to meet the academic requirements for a history paper with proper citations and get a A grade with the claim that I know 100% for sure that Christianity started out as a Psychological Operation By Paul & friends to convince Gentiles to become Noahides and that Paul & "eye witness" friends did not sincerely believe Jesus rose from the dead

in reply to shortstories

@shortstories Actually no, even at the time of Maimonides, some rabbis said that Christianity had been created by Hashem to bring the nations to the Jews.

This is what rabbis have been saying for a long time, now you have all the most influential ones on video repeating it.

Of course this is heresy to Christians but, as it's written in their bible: "You worship what you do not know, we worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews."

in reply to shortstories

First I think because of belief in Jesus whether or not Jesus existed the Roman Government was defeated and replaced by a combination of Churches and multiple governments

Second it was defeated over many centuries without violence

Third I think it's defeat was a good thing because in the long run it led to competing government and competing religious systems

Fourth I am anti-clerical and hope for the Roman Clerical system to be defeated further

in reply to shortstories

My desired end goal would be for people to no longer believe that clergy have special authority to let people know what is morally right and wrong and to no longer believe that they have a moral obligation to obey clergy simply because they are clergy

When I say clergy I do not limit this to "Christian" Clergy only

And I would say the same for people in government or corporate office positions as I said for clergy but with word substituition

‘The World’s Silence Is Deadly’: Greta Thunberg’s Message Aboard Freedom Flotilla


June 1st, we’ll attempt to, again, sail towards Gaza and to try to break the siege and open up a humanitarian corridor by delivering aid like food and medical supplies,” says Thunberg. A similar mission to sail to occupied Gaza in May was aborted after a flotilla dubbed the “Conscience” suffered two drone attacks while in international waters.

“Keep your eyes on deck, continue flooding the streets, organize, boycott, and do everything in your power to stand for Palestine,” Thunberg ends her message, readying to set sail for Gaza from Catania, Sicily, on Sunday with aid supplies and several high-profile activists alongside her.

Japan seeks to grow Africa investments to ease reliance on China


Japan is supporting its companies to grow their business in Africa and develop trade ties across a continent where it’s mainly been seen as a key donor.

The second-biggest Asian economy’s emergence from a three-decade period of deflation has boosted its private sector’s risk appetite, Takehiko Matsuo, vice-minister for International Affairs at the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said in Abidjan, the commercial hub of Ivory Coast.

in reply to Rose

That’s literally how Germany got to where Adi-chan was needed. To avoid this we’d have had to start decades ago at stopping them. It takes someone willing to ignore precedent and turn society upside down to stop them and do it with no “due process”.

This is literally the fruits of every generation after the war being complacent and way too accepting of overt evil out of a misguided and overdeveloped sense of “fairness”
